Cannabis News TLDR / Table of Contents

In case you haven’t noticed, there’s been a lack of meaningful marijuana legislation in the House of Representatives in the past couple of years. Congress can’t vote on cannabis anymore. And it’s because of this man.

Its almost unfair to put outdoor and indoor cannabis growing in the same category: Outdoor grows rely on Mother Nature to control the most important variables, while indoor-gardening techniques will allow you to control the same factors with ease.

These indoor growers quickly improved their techniques and green bud was born, creating the new standard of cannabis that we know today.

Outdoor cannabis is better because the suns natural light spectrum produces more cannabinoids and terpenes, increasing the plants flavor and potencythe two qualities every cannabis aficionado values.

A Washington Statecertified lab compared 2,700 samples and found that sun-grown cannabis was at least 1 percent higher in THC than indoor plants; likewise, terpene response is best under the sun.

At the same time, light-deprivation techniques allow growers to reduce the amount of light that the plants receive to 12 hours per day in order to induce the flowering stage during summer.
